i believe al-naimi is such a good representative of opec. he came out back in april when prices were running up and showed his frustration and said look, we need to get prices down. saudi arabia is the lynchpin of opec. they have spare capacity. they already have the production levels there that they can put onto the market. so that is what he did back in april. that is what kept prices down. he did a successful job there assad saud did. and they just really highlighted they're really in control. that is why you have seen -- go on. melissa: the other side has gotten really aggressive. we saw at the last meeting, rafael ramirez, representative from venezuela getting up talking about the fact they have more proven reserves than saudi arabia. saying they're a bigger oil giant. they brought studies from bp along to back the claim. if you look at opec's website now, they recognize venezuela being on top even though their production really lacks, but, you know, is the thooid turning inside opec? >> that is exactly the point there you made, melissa
